a moving violation. the officer got out of his car and the driver of the other car did too and started to fire. >> he fled the location in his vehicle. >> reporter: again, you heard the driver took off. now there is a search going on for him. police have his license plate number and are trying to track him down. but again, they are not releasing any information about what kind of vehicle he's driving or any description of him. so people who live in this area are concerned. they say shootings usually don't happen here and they really would like to know some more information because at this point, we know that there is a man on the loose and he's armed with a gun. we're not sure if he fled somewhere in this neighborhood or if he's taken off to another city. we do know that this intersection will be closed for the next several hours. that's a concern to residents here because there are three schools in this vicinity.

outbound traffic for a little while. people were stranded for hours as a situation developed on treasure island. we have video of the suspect sitting on a railing bite right -- right by the way. this all started as a police pursuit that began near mason and bush around 11:00 last night. police got a 911 call about a stolen vehicle. they say during that pursuit, the suspect pulled a gun and fired one shot at the officer. officers traitsed the suspect here where he got out of the car and held a gun to his own head threatening suicide. we learned that police found a single bullet and found the suspect dead. police say it was simply too dangerous to let people drive by. >> because he was armed with a gun and had discharged the weapon. there was a grave concern that he would fire. so for that eastern, we shut

down -- reason we shut down all access to this area. >> reporter: access to treasure island, now open, although somewhat restricted. one more note. we had been identifying that suspecearliein the morning but in light of the latest developments we'll refrain from using his name. again, access to treasure island, slowly getting back to normal. we'll have updates on this developing situation here for you during through the morning and the day. christien kafton, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. another impact from that situation is traffic in and out of treasure island. let's check in with tara. >> well, probably another half an hour until things are back to normal on the island. as christian mentioned the coroner arrived. also we want to mention b.a.r.t. delays.

wednesday through sunday. 40s and 50s on the temperatures. we are e. we have to wait for that. that's the kicker that will drive it in. this is our cloud-and-rain forecast. increasing clouds today. tomorrow morning, you will have to deem with the rain -- deal with the rain. most of this goes through. i think by noon we'll be on the back side of all of that. then we'll wait for the next system which may park itself over the north bay. we've seen this before where it rains an -- and rains. 60s on the highs today or upper 50s. rain moves in wednesday morning. the wind will crank up. then the next system arrives. and then maybe not moves in until thursday or friday. rain likely ending on sunday night. >> time now, 7:08. fire so son officially ended this month and the big storm

caused by that anti-muslim video that's proven not to be so. but after briefings by intelligence officials. it seems like things are softening, after senators think maybe she was given that explanation by u.s. intelligence and it was not her own volition. we'll have to see what comes out of these mootings. it looks like it is -- meetings. it looks like -- >> and that's kind of a smart move by the white house to avoid the embarrassment of a long fight. but is this normal? is this a normal protocol to portray a potential candidate out before they are nominated? >> reporter: no, it's not. that's why this is different. my rule of thumb, there's always one cabinet member who gets picked by a president who

gets run through the gaunt let's on a tough -- gauntlet. they may use rice' nomination hearing to explore the libya situation, bring out more about it. but i just get the sense the last few days but maybe some gop senators are thinking. we're gonna go to the mattresses. >> i know that rice is young. she's 48. she has a good relationship with the president. other than this benghazi situation, is she qualified for this post? >> that's a decision for senators to make. but there are a lot of stories around that maybe her techniques in terms of person awe person dealing have -- person-to-person dealings have rubbed some people raw in this town. there's very famous stories

told last week about rice going toe to toe with some people that maybe bruised some egos. it's the friendships and those you steam roll along the way to move up the ladder that will cause you trouble later on. we'll have to see how this plays out. we'll see if she's even the choice to replace hillary clinton. >> if some of the senators come forward to talk about this, we'll bring that to you. thank you, jamie dur pre, from washington, d.c. you can find a link to his blog at ktvu.com. pull down the news menu bar. the u.s. ambassador killed in that libyan attack has been laid to rest in northern california. a wreath of roses and an american flag are some of the items on chris steven' grave. according to the paper stevens was buried there on friday.

we'll see. today, increasing clouds. the other forecast model is not. they are all wet. rain coming in, windy pattern. tomorrow is a good, old littled soaker -- old-fashioned soaker. in the south bay, it can be cloudy and in the north bay it can be pouring and that will be the case for thursday. i think 4 to 10 inches of rain are possible. i think heavier amounts will be fort bragg, shelter cove, point arena. 40s and 50s. temperatures again coming up. and a southeast wind in advance of the front. that's really kind of the key back in there. that's the area of low pressure. cloud and rain forecast. you don't have to worry about rain today. everything is all right. tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning right there. you can see there is a back edge to it.

produce a recession. >> any time there's talk of a recession, certainly there is a lot of concern among everyone. there will be some selling on wall street as well. what wall street mates the most is uncertainty and that is what we're faced with right now. what will happen and we'll continue to watch congress and wall street. reporting live in the newsroom, i'm pam cook, let's go pack to dave and tori. 7:45. we have new video of police clashing in cairo, egypt today with protesters angry about present moves by that country's president. [ sirens ] >> police fired tear gas and protesters threw rocks at police on the street near cairo's tahrir square. protesters have been gathering at that square since president mohammad morsi granted himself new sweeping powers. this is the same square that was the center of the uprising that toppled hosni mubarak nearly two years ago.

today, the grave of yasser arafat was opened in an attempt to determine whether he was poisoned. this is video from ramallah today. it shows palestinian leaders paying their respects after arafat's remains were returned to his mausoleum. samples were given to french, swiss and russian experts for testing. earlier this year, the detection of a lethal radioactive substance on arafat's belongses sparked a new -- belongings, sparked a new investigation into his death. back here at home, san jose firefighters think eucalyptus oil forced the evacuation of 100 people last night at a local gym. several people complained of breathing problems. it happened at club one. ten people complainedsh -- ten people complained of breathing problems and irritated throats.

>> one of my other clients said there's something really strong in the bathroom. really strong and burning sensation. her eyes were burning. there was like -- she was coughing right after. >> now, eucalyptus oil is commonly used in saunas and steam rooms. the search for san jose's next police chef is well underway. last night they feld public meetings and -- held public meetings and asked people what they want in a police chief. this comes when the police department there is dealing with higher crime and low morale. >> what i want is that the city of san jose end up with the best chief possible, the chief with the best track record. >> well, officials confirm to ktvu that two names in

particular have come up in recent meetings. they are sacramento chief rick razill, who is about to retire, and president police chief jer right dyer. u.n. ambassador susan rice has just wrapped up a meeting with three senators who have been critical with her explanations for the attacks in libya. this is one of those senators. let's listen in. >> if you can do nothing but give bad information, isn't it better to give no information at all? my belief is not only is the information bad and i'm more convinced than ever that it was bad, it was unjustified to give the scenario as presented by ambassador rice and president obama. this is three weeks before the election. >> i want to say that i'm more

troubled today knowing having met with the acting director of the cia and ambassador rice because it certainly is clear from the beginning that we knew that those with ties to al qaeda were involved in the attack on the ambassador and clearly, the impression that was given, the information given to the american people, was wrong. in fact, ambassador rice said today, absolutely it was wrong. i don't understand the cia clearly that that information was wrong, and they knew by the 22nd it was wrong. yet, they've not cleared that up with the american people to date and have come forward and said it was wrong, including the president of the united states also parroting and talking about this is reaction to a video, the attacks in benghazi. and what troubles me also is that the -- obviously the

changes made to the unclassified talking points were misleading but just to be clear, when you have a position when you are ambassador to the united states, you go well beyond unclassified talking points in your daily preparation responsibilities for that job and that's troubling to me as well, why she wouldn't have said -- it's not just the talking points but it is part of her responsibility as the ambassador of a united nation to reveal more than that. >> before anyone can promote anyone involved in benghazi, we need to do a lot more to this date. we don't have the sea of fbi interviews of the survivors conducted one or two days after the attack. we don't have the basic

information about what was said of the attack shared with congress as of this date. i remember the john bolton episode pretty well. our democrat friends feel like john bolton didn't have the information needed to inform a decision of john bollen to being ambassador -- >> you've been listening live to two of the three republican shares that u.n. ambassador susan rice met with this morning. that's lindsey graham of south carolina and the new hampshire senator, certainly her harshest critics. reportedly susan rice requested the meeting. the third senator was john mccain. she's considered a top pick to replace hillary clinton and if nominated rice would have to be confirmed by the senate and there's questions about the handling of the situation.

this story continues in washington, d.c. it will be interesting to see if those three senators have support from other senators or if they are standing alone. hillary clinton will be stepping down for the second term. the president will be needing a new secretary of state and susan rice seems to be the other candidate. john kerr i have a possibility as well -- john kerry is a possibility as well. a lousy, foul smell plagued the american river in sacramento. now we know why.
